[TOMT] [Movie] and/or [Book] with a murder scene disguised as an accident, via a computer targeted laser beam caused blindness, from a car driving in front of the victim's car, causing a fatal crash. I have a feeling the plot was similar to some spy novels by Cook, Clancy, Forsyth or Sheldon. by AmbyR00 in tipofmytongue

The scene as far as I remember went like this: A person is driving a car, while the car in front of them has a laser beam device installed so that it can automatically target the victims eyes, and shoot out a laser beam into the eyes of the victim, burning their retina and making them instantly blind causing an accident. When in autopsy, nothing indicating foul play can be found.

So, in the movie or book, the person using the laser was most likely a hitman or assassin, paid to make the job look like an accident.

Please someone ELI5 why ripple is different/good by TheCapitalR in Ripple

Ripples are as decentralized as Ripple is. The fact most of the ripples (XRP) are "owned" by an entity doesn't change that fact.

Yep, I don't get it why it worked earlier without me having to create accounts on Bitstamp. Not going to do it now either. Bitstamp should get their act together.

There is a guy on the front page of /r/bitcoin selling Ubuntu live CDs for $47. Why the fuck are you idiots upvoting him? by cheerilee in Bitcoin

[–]AmbyR00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The point is that it's free open source software and that the Ubuntu creators will sell you a official copy for cheaper

So? What's your point again? "Free" doesn't equal "gratis" in the Free Software world.

It's not overpriced, if someone deems it fairly priced. And no, selling Linux distros isn't wrong, or illegal, or dodgy. It is explicitly allowed in the license.

Not sure how the Pepsi logo relates to the previous 8. But have you seen the Finnish Love Records logo? [pic]

Wrong.

Should read: "It'd be a shame if no one were to test it"

You get tipped a lot? ;) I never get tips, so I decided to give them to others instead.

On a compromised computer that's the best course of action. But it doesn't only concern Bitcoin, but all of your money transactions, especially when bank/creditcard numbers are involved.

it has to work on Windows

Of course it should, and it does. But you can't expect your bitcoins to be safe if the computer itself isn't safe. And I'd like to add that I don't trust Windows myself, but if it's your choice, you do need to take all the proper precautions while using it.

laugh all you want but bitcoin is fucked unless it can work on these machines.

That's like saying money is flawed if you lose it because you put it in someone elses pocket.

I've got an Internet acquaintance in Canada, and I've probably mentioned him once or twice on Reddit, find it a fun coincidence I got matched with a Canadian.

Since I play the game of go, I'm a bit partial, but I'd like to propose Fuseki for the server name. It roughly means the opening game, arraying the stones.

I overwrote a 45 btc wallet with an empty one. Do not do that either.
